Kingsport Chamber Gets New Home In 2012 the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce upgraded in a big way when they set up shop in the newly renovated old Kingsport Press building.

Macado’s comes to Broad Street Downtown Kingsport has a lot of exciting things happening in the next year or so. One major addition will be Macado’s on Broad Street. The sports grill will be directly across from Wallace News Stand and is projected to open sometime in 2014. This location will be the chain’s 20th location and they could not be more excited to be in Kingsport. This will give downtown more credibility, as Macados is the third major restaurant to move in. Citizens, Downtown Kingsport Association, and the City of Kingsport are all very excited to welcome Macados.
Mumford and Sons stops in Bristol Bristol got its groove on in August 2012 when one of the only four Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers in the U.S., featuring Mumford and Sons, came through. The concert was an all day event for the community and over 15,000 tickets were sold. Crowds from all over the Southeast traveled to Bristol just to see the tour. The once in a lifetime event brought crowds to Bristol that had never visited the city and shed even more light on the history. The Gentlemen of the Road are welcome back any time!
